In an instant, the Mad Reaper Scythe gradually shed its outer layer under the burning of the pure Star Flame, revealing the black steel beneath. Gradually, the steel turned red-hot, and the entire scythe began to soften. Before long, it had become a pool of molten iron within the Divine Dragon Cauldron.
However, despite its size, the Mad Reaper Scythe was insufficient to accelerate the melting of the Haotian Sword; in fact, the molten iron did not even overflow onto the blade of the Haotian Sword.
Unknowingly, another day passed with no progress.
Ye Yang took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes to check on the situation inside the Divine Dragon Cauldron. He couldn't help but feel disappointed. The cauldron was filled with swirling blue smoke, and the molten iron from the Mad Reaper Scythe was bubbling away. However, the black iron rod that was the Haotian Sword remained as hard as ever, showing no signs of melting.
Not far away, Ding Xiang was tearing into a roasted chicken with great effort. Sweat dripped from his forehead, clearly indicating that under intense training, his body was merely holding on.
"Young Hero?"
"Yes?"
"How's the progress?"
"None."
"Oh..."
Their conversation was unusually brief. Ye Yang closed his eyes again, but less than half a minute later, he suddenly shot up into the air, standing majestically above, and shouted, "Which Rodents are you? Show yourselves!"
With a raised fist, a massive fiery punch struck the ground, leaving a large imprint of his fist. Black dust flew up as magma around the mountains surged with huge ripples. The force of Ye Yang's punch was so fierce that it cracked the hard stone ground.
"Snap..."
A piece of rubble rose and slowly cracked open. From beneath, a black arm emerged, followed by a figure rushing to the surface, wielding an Iron Spear and letting out a fierce cry: "Damn you! You've trespassed into the domain of the Ghost King; you're simply seeking death!"
Starlight Power flowed around him, indicating that he was a Starry Sky Level warrior, though only at Starry Sky Level Two. His strength surpassed that of the Ghost Messenger by one tier, but it was still quite limited.
Ye Yang glanced over and saw clearly that this person was clad in black Armor, evidently not affiliated with the Ghost Messenger group but belonging to another faction. However, this individual had stealthily infiltrated the area with ill intentions. No matter what, Ye Yang could not allow him to proceed!
With a slight lift of his arm, Ye Yang descended like a Shadow Charm. With a "smack," he grasped the opponent's spear shaft. The Black Armored Ghost Soldier never expected Ye Yang's power to be so astonishing; caught off guard, he received a heavy palm strike to his abdomen. The fire True Qi burst through his back—this strike was indeed heavy enough to not kill him but would leave him wishing for death.
Seizing the opponent's Spear Blade, Ye Yang thrust it suddenly, piercing deep into the soldier's thigh. With a loud clang, the Black Armored Ghost Soldier was pinned against a massive and hard black boulder. This stone was difficult even for the Azure Soul Sword to cut through, making it nearly impossible for the Ghost Soldier to escape. Moreover, with barbs on the Spear Blade, he had no chance of acting recklessly.
Holding onto the spear shaft, Ye Yang coldly stared at the Ghost Soldier and asked, "Do you want to die?"
The Ghost Soldier grimaced in pain and shook his head repeatedly: "No! I don't want to die! Young Hero, spare my life!"
Ye Yang replied, "If you don't want to die, that's fine. But I have one question for you, and you must answer truthfully. If you fail to do so, I'll take your life immediately!"
The Ghost Soldier nodded: "Young Hero, please ask! I will answer truthfully!"
Ye Yang coldly asked, "Who are you?"
"I am Ying Qian, the Vanguard Envoy under the Ghost King!"
"Who is the Ghost King?"
"Ghost King..." Ying Qian paused, wincing in pain, and said, "There are four major Ghost Kings in Boundless Purgatory, all of whom are incredibly powerful. They are Azure Rock, Flying Fire, Ice Face, and Liushuang. For thousands of years, Azure Rock, Flying Fire, and Liushuang have each entered the Ghost Realm, establishing their own territories in Boundless Purgatory. Originally, they formed a tripartite balance of power. However, later on, a peerless powerhouse named 'Ice Face' emerged and defeated many Ghost Realm cultivators, becoming a dominant Ghost King. I am the Vanguard Envoy of the Azure Rock Demon King."
Ye Yang asked, "What is the background of Azure Rock? How many Vanguard Envoys like you are there? Besides the Vanguard Envoys, how many soldiers are there?"
Vanguard Envoy Ying Qian thought for a moment and replied, "The Azure Rock Demon King has been in Boundless Purgatory for over two thousand years, commanding numerous cultivators. He is a lord in Boundless Purgatory with more than ten million elite soldiers under his command. There are nearly a hundred Vanguard Envoys like me, twelve Commanders, and over ten thousand Shura Ghost Soldiers, along with countless Vengeful Spirits assisting us!"
As he spoke, Vanguard Envoy Ying Qian swallowed hard and said, "Young Hero, although your strength is exceptional, two fists cannot match four hands. Moreover, the Azure Rock Demon King's strength is unfathomable. I kindly advise you to leave Boundless Purgatory; at least get out of this area. This place was once the hunting ground of the Azure Rock Demon King, specifically for hunting ghosts for entertainment. Now that you have taken it and killed one of the Commanders, Firebringer, the Azure Rock Demon King is furious. That is why I was sent to investigate the situation here. Young Hero, I am just following orders; please spare my worthless life!"
Ye Yang pondered for a moment and said, "This Azure Rock Demon King seems quite formidable to dominate one side of the Ghost Realm. Hmph, I am quite interested in meeting him..."
Ying Qian immediately wailed, "No! Young Hero! The Azure Rock Demon King has strong soldiers under his command; there are nearly a hundred Vanguard Envoys alone! Even if it were a war of attrition, you would not be able to withstand them!"
Ye Yang glanced at him and suddenly smiled. "With your kind of trash, even if a thousand came, I wouldn't take them seriously. No need for your concern."
Ying Qian's face turned pale. "Young Hero, are you going to kill me?"
"No, I will not kill you."
"Then what are you...?"
Ye Yang smiled lightly. "I will keep you here for a while. Hmph, if you don't return for a long time, the Azure Rock will definitely grow suspicious and continue sending people to trouble me. Just right; I am extremely irritated while cultivating here. Having someone to entertain me wouldn't be bad. Let me ask you: Has the Azure Rock Demon King entered the Celestial Realm yet?"
"Heavenly Dawn?"
Ying Qian murmured, "What is the Celestial Realm?"
"Damn..."
Ye Yang clenched his fist, realizing that there were indeed no Divine-level Experts in the Ghost Realm for now. No matter how strong the Azure Rock Demon King was, he could only reach the Starry Sky Seventh Level at most, so there was nothing to fear!
...
The sword blade sliced through the rock, and soon after, Ye Yang erected a stone flagpole, hanging Vanguard Envoy Ying Qian high up. He then continued to wait around the Divine Dragon Cauldron, refining the Haotian Sword within it. Although he couldn't melt the Divine Iron of the Haotian Sword, this Refining Technique itself was a form of cultivation. After operating his True Qi in the environment of Boundless Purgatory for an extended period, Ye Yang could clearly feel himself growing stronger, slowly breaking through a difficult barrier. Once he succeeded, it was highly likely that he could ascend to become a deity!
Three days passed, and finally, there was movement. The sound of splashing water echoed from the crimson mist. Soon after, three warships made of fine steel sailed through the Lava Sea. Onboard stood countless Ghost Soldiers, and a large flag was raised: Azure Rock.
Finally, what was meant to come had arrived.
"Hey, that kid! Who exactly are you? Come out and speak with me!" shouted a Commander holding a Battle Axe from the warship.
Ye Yang, who had been cultivating, opened his eyes and revealed a faint smile.
